Means (and ranges) of the water quality parameters in the Sestroretskiy Razliv reservoir in different years (1980, 2002, 2016 and 2018). The comparison of the means among different years was carried out using ANOVA with the Tukey–Kramer test. The Tukey–Kramer test results are indicated by superscripts.

Means (and ranges) of phytoplankton biomass (B), chlorophyll a (Chl a) and relative biomass of diatoms (% Diatom) and cyanobacteria (% Cyanobacteria) in the Sestroretskiy Razliv reservoir in different years (1980, 2002, 2016 and 2018). The comparison of the means among different years was calculated using ANOVA with the Tukey–Kramer test. The Tukey–Kramer test results are indicated by superscripts.
